If you really have a swarm of bees -- a football-sized cluster of bees hanging from a tree branch or something similar -- the best thing to do is contact a local beekeeper who will be glad to come and collect them. If you do nothing, they will be there anything between a couple of hours and a day then will move on, either to another post, or to a new home. Bees in a swarm are usually quite docile because they have no hive to protect and they fed well before they left their old hive. However, it is better not to disturb the swarm in any way.

Normal bees will only attack you if you have annoyed them, or perhaps you are wearing strong perfume or scent and you have walked through their landing zone near the hive.
Cover your face with your clothes and get away as quick as you can. If you have been stung, the bee stings will be left in your skin (bee stings have a hook, so the bee dies after stinging), and will still be pumping in the poison. Don't try to pull them out, that just squeezes the little sac of poison. Instead, scrape them off with your fingernails, or a knife.
Another trick, if you are near a suitable hedge or group of trees (especially fir), squeeze through between the bushes -- the bees usually won't, or can't, follow you.

∙ 9y agoIf you are stung by a honey bee you should first look to make sure the stinger is out. If the stinger is still in you should use a flat edge hard object such as a credit card to scrap the stinger away. You can run cold water over the area for a few minutes. Apply a topical antihistamine. If there is an allergic reaction administer Benadryl and go to a health care center immediately.
